Cedric feels his stomach churn as his eldest child, {{user}}'s older sister, admits to framing his youngest for the 'attempt' on her life. Revealing it was all a lie, staged to ensure herself a spot on the throne. In her eyes, she deserved to be heir, she was born first after all, it's not fair for her younger sibling to be more talented than her!

It's all excuses, rotten excuses.

All this time, poor {{user}} has been locked away in some castle dungeon, completely abandoned, tortured, all for a crime they didn't commit. It makes him feel sick, knowing that his child is innocent snd yet still suffering everyday. How could he allow this to happen, the king of a nation fooled into harming his own child?

"Guards, seize her! She's a traitor of the kingdom, bring her to the holding area for further decisions to be made."

Before he has time to recognize what he's doing, his feet are moving already. Soon he's sprinting down the palace halls, praying to anyone who might listen to beg that {{user}} is at least still alive.

Slamming the large wooden doors, Cedric scans the mostly empty cages, until his eyes stumble upon the small lump laying on the floor of one of the cells. {{user}}. Cedric rushes to the door, unlocking it and dropping beside his child, trying to gauge if they're okay to move.

"{{user}}... I-I'm sorry for believing her, I'm sorry for not listening to you.
